[ Upstream commit 930c6ab93492c4b15436524e704950b364b2930c ]
syzbot reports a f2fs bug as below:

As Christian Brauner pointed out [1]: the root cause is f2fs sets SB_RDONLY flag in internal function, rather than setting the flag covered w/ sb->s_umount semaphore via remount procedure, then below race condition causes this bug:
- freeze_super() - sb_wait_write(sb, SB_FREEZE_WRITE) - sb_wait_write(sb, SB_FREEZE_PAGEFAULT) - sb_wait_write(sb, SB_FREEZE_FS) - f2fs_handle_critical_error - sb->s_flags |= SB_RDONLY - thaw_super - thaw_super_locked - sb_rdonly() is true, so it skips sb_freeze_unlock(sb, SB_FREEZE_FS) - deactivate_locked_super
Since f2fs has almost the same logic as ext4 [2] when handling critical error in filesystem if it mounts w/ errors=remount-ro option: - set CP_ERROR_FLAG flag which indicates filesystem is stopped - record errors to superblock - set SB_RDONLY falg Once we set CP_ERROR_FLAG flag, all writable interfaces can detect the flag and stop any further updates on filesystem. So, it is safe to not set SB_RDONLY flag, let's remove the logic and keep in line w/ ext4 [3].
